Our Trips

Our season starts in April 


We offer a range of boat trips designed to show off the best of what life has to offer here on Scotland’s spectacular west coast.  Our focus is on sea-fishing trips with the opportunity to enjoy local marine wildlife spotting in our stunning scenery. 


  


SEA ADVENTURES WITH A TWIST

We don’t just stop at fishing though and we’d be delighted to tailor bespoke sea adventures to suit your own interests and experience.  You might like to learn more about our very special history or catch, prepare and eat your own lunch or supper.  Talk to us and we can come up with a bespoke itinerary to suit your needs , be it for pleasure, education or work. We are happy to work in association with other activity providers in the area. 


-:History At Sea:-

by pre arrangement 

Archaeologist Cathy Dagg, who has been a crofter locally for the past thirty years, is on hand to share her vast knowledge of our rich and varied history. We can access sites of great historical interest including old Viking settlements, local crofting communities and stations that traded with the Caribbean and Africa.


-:Seaweed Special:-

by pre arrangement

Foraging for edible seaweeds and other shore side treats with Ailsa McLellan on Isle Martin.



MV Patricia

For many years, Patricia was the passenger ferry to Tanera Mòr, the largest of the Summer Isles. Held in great affection by the locals, she even featured on the island’s post office stamps!


 Now fully upgraded, Patricia is a spacious, fully equipped 29 foot Versatility hull powered by a Ford engine.  She is licensed and insured to operate up to 20 miles from our home port of Ullapool and can accommodate up to 9 passengers.


 Patricia is a displacement boat and does a steady 7 knots. Not fast but plenty of time to watch the beautiful environment we operate in.


She has a toilet for your comfort and has tea and coffee facilities on board. 


We need a minimum of 4 clients to run boat trips but will be happy to try and team you up with other parties.


Fishing

We operate within the Wester Ross Marine Protected Area, which came into force in March 2016. We have seen the fishing get better with more species returning to the area and bigger fish being caught. More dolphins and whales are seen each year. There is a debate as to wheather this is a reaction to sea temperatures rise or an increase in bait fish due to the lack of trawling. Either way it has improved the angling- the lowest impact way of catching fish for the table. 


The fishing kicks off with pollock until the return of the mackerel, (the main bait fish), normally about mid June. Later on in the season you can expect to catch cod, ling, pouting, whiting, ballan wrasse, cuckoo wrasse, gurnard, mackerel and herring. We seem to add more species every year.


Patricia is available for boat trips from April to the end of October weather dependent.
